I got up ungodly early today, around 8, I think my inner clock must be broken waking up at that hour. I spent a couple of hours drinking coffee and preparing some packages to bring to the post. When that was done I went to the dumping pit I left last evening. It is large and full of rust, unfortunately crap rust, and I kept finding bottles every other minute or so. Sometimes a signal flare and some other bits was between the rubbish.The bottom of it wasn`t so deep, a rocky sand ground which filled quickly with water.Half of the pit is covered by a thick band of barbed wire and when I had found and cleaned the corner I had been digging towards I began cutting my way through the wire. It took some effort but soon I could sort of roll a big section of it away.​

Signal flares.

Nivea bottle and Velvet Sportscream.

Battery.

The rest of the uniform had rotted away.

With the wire out of the way I could continue finding bottles and food tins and the odd interesting bits. The pile of finds grew as the day went on and I kept searching thoroughly and on the bottom I found a 9mm pistol magazine half full. Sadly the bottom of the magazine had rotted away but still a cool little find.

Found several Esbit stoves but all but this was destroyed.

K98 stripper clip, for loading the rifle.

9mm magazine.

Too bad with its condition.

Losantine bottle.

Not sure what this is from.

Piece from a bunker stove.

I was getting close to the third corner of the pit when more and more bottles was in the clay and I had to be careful not to brake any and not cut myself on the many already broken. Now and then some other stuff was in there. A full rosodont box, more flares, several toothpaste tubes and a bakelit tent peg.Finally I got to the bottom and had found the side of the dumping pit but still at least a quarter or a bit more is covered with barbed wire. With only an hour of daylight left I decided to roam around a little searching for signals in the field and along the forest. I filled in the dumping pit because I will start digging the rest of it from the last corner as it will be easier to get the barbed wire off that way. When I was doing that the neighbour came to say hello and we went around searching. We thought we found a panzerfaust but it was a part from a wagon, but we found a nice german axe head. On the field we found some modern rubbish and next to a tree we found a downed helicopter. A small R/C one. The neighbour knew who had lost it so he will bring it back to them.Before I left we went into his garage and used an angle grinder to sharpen my shovel, so now I can almost shave with it.​Well, tomorrow I will have a rest and go help my parents,so no digging, but friday I ll be back in the forest.

A tube with some cream and a k98 casing.

Rosodont box made of bakelite.

Bakelite tent peg and a porcelain jar.

Signal flares, and I didn`t have the one to the right in my collection already so it made me happy to find.
